Noga Erez is back with “Godmother,” a hypnotic teaser from her forthcoming third studio album, THE VANDALIST. With the haunting vocals of singer Eden Ben Zaken, this newest entry starts with a loud and clear statement: “I won’t be your echo” from an artist who relishes reinvention.
Conceived in the turbulence of the pandemic, “Godmother” is both revival and reckoning, a song that wears cinematic nostalgia yet throbs with modern intensity. Erez seamlessly intertwines influences, creating a soundscape that could belong in a ’60s Italian film as much as in a foggy underground club. The track’s sultry, hypnotic energy is complemented by her signature lyrical acuteness, luring you into a dreamlike state of vulnerability where power also dwells.
Noga Erez has long resisted the confines of genre, building a sound that feels entirely her own. “Godmother” is no exception. It’s harrowing, alluring, and exquisitely crafted, reinforcing that she is an artist admired not only for what she puts in but also for what she has the audacity to leave out.
With THE VANDALIST on the way, “Godmother” previews what’s in store. An evolution, a disruption, and a guarantee that Noga Erez isn’t close to finishing shattering barriers.
